Their long friendship dissolved over a petty disagreement, Fafhrd and Mouser go separate ways in "Lean Times in Lankhmar". Fafhrd turns to the spiritual life- divesting himself of worldly possessions, drink and other "allied pleasures". Mouser seeks a vocation more suited to his swashbuckling skills- as an enforcer for the racketeer who has his sights set on relieving Issek of the Jug - Fafhrd's new-found sect - of its growing profits. Avarice and deceit abound in one of Fritz Leiber's most satirical tales. The call of the deep lures our two adventurers into a tale of underwater drama. Tempting enchantresses, bizarre sea creatures and the fury of Nature itself unleash their evils upon Fafhrd and Mouser in "When the Sea King's Away".
